A podcast-inspired anthology of fifteen women leaders sharing the pivotal changes, identity shifts, and reinventions that shaped what came next.
ORMOND BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MILESTONE MOMENTS: Fifteen Women Leaders on Reinvention, Identity, and What They Built Next, created by Sheila Slick, brings together fifteen stories from women whose lives and careers changed course—and who chose to build what came next with greater clarity, purpose, and resolve.
The anthology grew out of conversations featured on Slick’s Milestone Moments in Business and Leadership podcast. Across the collection, contributors move beyond professional titles and polished biographies to explore the experiences that redirected them: career transitions, identity shifts, uncertainty, renewed confidence, leadership, resilience, and the decision to begin again.
“This is not a book about having it all figured out,” Slick explains. “It is a book about what happens when a woman is willing to share what she lived through so that someone else can see what is possible.”
The book does not present success as a straight or predictable path. Instead, it invites readers to consider the moments that altered their own direction—whether through a changing career, a difficult decision, an unexpected disruption, a new opportunity, or the realization that an earlier definition of success no longer fits.
Contributing author Adrienne Barker, MAS, describes the personal depth of the experience:
“I am deeply proud to be part of Milestone Moments. During my interview with Sheila, I shared information I had never shared before. That honest conversation is why this book matters: it gives women permission to recognize the moments that changed them and to see new possibilities in their own stories.”
Alongside Slick and Barker, the anthology includes stories from Dr. Angela Mulrooney, Rachel Allen, Kassandra Hamilton, M.Sc., Janet Uribe, ND, MBA, Dr. Christiane Schroeter, Sabine Hutchison, Cynthia Rodriguez, Ed.D., Donna Kunde, Jen Fontanilla, AnaKarina Arguello, Sabine Kvenberg, Julie Lokun, J.D., and Christina Vidovich. Together, the contributors offer distinct perspectives on achievement, reinvention, and leadership.
MILESTONE MOMENTS is written for women who are navigating change, reexamining their professional identities, entering a new stage of life, recovering from an unexpected disruption, or considering whether the story they have lived may help someone else.
